New: collect dues online with Stripe, and the money lands straight in your HOA's account.
HOA management software for self-managed boards

The boring parts of your HOA, quietly handled.

GnomeOwner is HOA software that reads your governing documents, tracks every compliance deadline, and collects dues online, so a volunteer board can run the place without a property manager or a law degree.

A friendlier face for the boring parts of owning together.

We know the drill

Running an HOA shouldn't feel like a second job.

Most boards are volunteers: neighbors who got nominated and inherited a mess of PDFs, spreadsheets, and deadlines nobody explained. GnomeOwner takes that weight off your shoulders.

The shoebox of PDFs

Declaration, bylaws, CC&Rs, ledgers, all scattered across email, Dropbox, and someone's filing cabinet.

Deadlines nobody warned you about

Annual meeting notices, budget ratifications, tax filings. Miss one and the board is personally on the hook.

Chasing dues by check

Knocking on doors, depositing checks, reconciling Venmo. Every single month, for every single unit.

How it works

From a shoebox of documents to running smoothly, in an afternoon.

1
Add your governing docs

Drop in your Declaration and bylaws. GnomeOwner reads them and pulls out every unit, owner, and ownership percentage. That used to eat a whole weekend.

2
We set up your association

Your compliance calendar arrives pre-loaded with the essentials your state requires: annual meeting notices, tax filings, and registration, all grounded in your state's own HOA and condo law — in all 50 states. Owners, units, dues, and records are ready before you finish your coffee.

3
Run it from one calm place

Collect dues online, log meetings and minutes, and answer “what do the bylaws say?” in seconds, all from one dashboard.

Everything in one calm place

One dashboard for the whole association.

Compliance calendar

Your compliance deadlines, tracked and reminded before they're a problem. No more last-minute scrambles.

Owner & unit records

Every owner, unit, and ownership percentage in one place. The source of truth for votes and dues.

Meetings & minutes

Agendas, motions, votes, and minutes, captured and stored for the record and ready for the next audit.

Why a gnome?

A garden gnome guards the home. So does this one.

He’s not here to be cute for its own sake. He’s the quiet caretaker who remembers the deadline you forgot, keeps the records straight, and lights the way through the parts of homeownership nobody enjoys. Friendly on the outside, genuinely useful underneath, and he never makes a decision without you.

Your HOA’s data is yours. Full stop.

We never sell your data and never use it to train AI models. Your documents and owner records stay inside your association, and owners see only what the board shares with them. You can export everything anytime, or delete the HOA (a 30-day undoable countdown; the money ledger is kept with names removed). The gnome does the busywork; your board stays in control and approves every action.

Simple, honest pricing

Free to start. Priced for your size.

Your core tools (documents, compliance, records, the gnome’s help) are free forever. Paid plans add online dues collection and automation, at one flat monthly price by unit count. No setup fees, no per-seat charges, no contract.

Founding Member offer

The first 150 HOAs to subscribe lock $29/mo on Starter for life — that’s our entry plan, for communities up to 25 homes. Starter rises to $39 for boards who join after that; the Growth and Community plans are priced as listed. Every new association also gets full access free for 45 days — long enough to run a full dues cycle — no credit card needed. Managing several communities? Talk to us about a firm plan.

Two fees apply to online dues, both shown up front and never hidden: Stripe’s processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ card, lower for bank transfer) and GnomeOwner’s 0.75% platform fee, capped at $5 per payment. Bank transfer is always free to your residents; if your board accepts cards, the HOA covers that cost — card-network rules don’t allow passing it to residents. We never hold your funds — dues go straight to your HOA’s account.

Before you ask

The questions every board has.

Not at all. If you can upload a PDF and read your email, you can run GnomeOwner. We built it for volunteer board members of every age. The whole point is that it does the technical work for you.
